Because of its proximity to Winnipeg (100 km) and Portage-la-Prairie (40 km), St. Claude is an ideal place to live, where one can enjoy the best of country living, with a French flavour, and yet take advantage of what the larger urban centres have to offer. For out of town visitors, our website will give you a summary of interesting information on our beautiful Village.
The purpose of the Portage la Prairie Regional Library is to obtain, organize and make conveniently available to all residents of the community recreational, educational and informational materials in convenient form including books periodicals newspapers pamphlets and other print and non-print materials.

After many months of hard work by many volunteers in our community, the first library opened its doors on September 27, 1993. This building was an old 10x8x45 ft supply building from the defunct Sea Cadet camp at Hnausa which was purchased by Jim Pearn and Russ Bowdery for $2000.00 and was moved 95 miles for a cost of about $700.00 to its new location beside Phoenix School.Russ Bowdery, founding director and his crew of volunteers then had their work cut out for them. Bowdery was about to see his dream come true with the help of Herb Britton providing hammer and paintbrush, Wes Wiebe installing electrical wiring, Al Gerbrandt building steps and ramp, Tom Byrnes with his bobcat to move gravel and Gary Glavin with many other volunteers moving ties and looking after the many finishing details. Ties were donated by Tom Scoular and the carpet by Pat Fossay and Don Fleming.
Get involved! There is something at the Evergreen Regional Library for everyone. You can support the library in a variety of ways with your donations of time or money. Together we can make the library even better!
